“But pleasures are like poppies spread,

You seize the flower,

it's bloom is shed;

Or, like the snow-fall in the river,

A moment white, then melts forever.

——

Tam o' Shanter, Robert Burns 📖

François Pannemaker, Albert Doms (engravers) - Tam o’ Shanter. From 'Pictures from English literature', 1870.

[corallapis]

Strapped into my navy-blue pram, a crescent balanced on sensitive springs, a wide moufflon cape leaving nothing exposed but my white woollen hands, coifed in a so-called ‘Dutch’ bonnet tied like Nanny’s under the chin, I would be wheeled, long-haired tam-o’-shantered sister Letty walking alongside, to the Nannies’ fashion centre, Rotten Row, where Nanny would meet Nanny Benson and Nanny Poynder to talk of their charges in dark undertones, spelling out the flattering p-r-e-t-t-y, or the ominous d-e-n-t-i-s-t, or to discuss disloyally the ‘enamelled’ Prince of Wales or my Nanny’s unreasonable dislike of the Duke of York. We wheeled along Rotten Row and ladies and gentlemen on tall horses would stop and ask whose children we were. Later, when I was always dressed in black satin, more riders stopped. I was taken out of the pram for leg-stretching, but no romping was allowed. The grass was too dirty, hoops too dangerous, so I walked demurely with Letty and Daisy Benson talking of Christmas and birthdays. […] I realised life’s monotony and accepted it as one of the natural laws.

— Lady Diana Cooper, The Rainbow Comes and Goes

Not Diana Gabaldon getting both Scottish history and linguistics wrong in one staggeringly arrogant breath. Surely not.

Scotch bonnets. Like the fucking pepper 🤣

Just call us all Jocks, Diana. Just say it with your whole chest.

I also cannae believe @ayeforscotland is off on his holidays, and I’ve got no one to roast her with. I’m like Statler without Waldorf over here: half a muppet double act.

Also, the name of the hat the OP is looking for is a tam o’ shanter. Or you could just call it a bunnet.

Fucking Scotch bonnet. 🌶️

Good grief 😂

More of these gals! i can't physically stop drawing lesbians, i am spiraling! :)

what's a fem Demoman's class name? would she call herself Demowoman, or Demoman still? Demolass? Just Demo? (((If i hear 'femoman' i am going to throw up)))

blu wears a blue tam o' shanter--which i gather is no more feminine than masculine, but i think would be more comfortable for longer hair than a skullcap--and red wears a red plaid scarf because I wanted something reminiscent of an earasaid. she's so liquor aunt!!!

[ayeforscotland]

What the fuck is she talking about?

A Scotch Bonnet is a chilli pepper

The hat I think she’s trying to refer to is a Tam o’ Shanter

No one in Scotland refers to themselves as Scotch

In the mid-20th century the Scottish Parliament hadn’t reconvened and the SNP wouldn’t get into power until 2007
